War is a class conflict, too. The rich and powerful who open war escape the consequences of their decisions. It’s not their children sent into the jaws of violence. It is often the vulnerable, the poor, & working people -who had little to no say in conflict - who pay the price.https://twitter.com/cascamike/status/1213166390405976064 …

I did my thesis on this topic. The population of people serving and the population of people who are KIA/WIA is a direct reflection of the American population. Saying that poor people have a greater chance to be a casualty is a lazy take that is simply not true.

She actually also said it it’s a class issue, the wealthy and powerful are not sending their kids to enlist in war.

“WAR is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.” - Maj. Gen. Butlerpic.twitter.com/vYeRfuLzUx

Exactly. That's why we need to institute a mandatory 2 year draft for all 18 year olds upon completion of HS or dropping out. Conscientious objectors could join the conservation corps.

I feel like you shouldn't have to be able to get yourself in the "Consciencious Objectors" category to avoid violent service.

Your lack of intelligence is apparent. I am so happy that your term is shortening by the day. I am counting the days until on my calendar.

Last I heard, our military is a totally voluntary service. It was not, when I was drafted in 1969. It is the ARMED services & I'm fairly certain that no one joins the ARMED services thinking they are exempt from possible warfare. That is what they are trained to do.
